On Tuesday, the Pittsburgh Steelers announced that linebacker Marcus Allen would miss the rest of the season after being placed on IR. Allen suffered a bicep injury in last week’s game against the Las Vegas Raiders that required surgery.
Allen has been a star on the Steelers special teams all season long. Unfortunately, this injury ends Allen’s season and last week could potentially be his final game as a Steeler. Allen is set to hit free agency and may not be re-signed.
Allen became infamous this season to NFL fans who didn’t know who he was when he drew an unsportsmanlike conduct penalty during a television timeout when he wandered over to the Carolina Panthers huddle to talk trash.
We have:
• Signed LB Tae Crowder to the 53-man roster off the N.Y. Giants practice squad
• Placed LB Marcus Allen on the Reserve/Injured list
• Signed S Scott Nelson to the practice squad @BordasLawhttps://t.co/5YaTJx41qK— Pittsburgh Steelers (@steelers) December 27, 2022
